DG Milk and Cookies

In February my sorority held our first DG Milk and Cookies event. This was our spring philanthropy in order to raise money for Service for Sight (you can learn more about our philanthropy here). I was asked to make some cookies for the auction portion of the event as well as cookies for those who attended the event to eat.

I made some brush embroidery cookies, which are my favorites to make. When everything goes right they are really relaxing to make.

I made these cute chocolate chip cookies which were some of the cookies given out to those who purchased the event.

I also made these Star Wars cookies for the auction portion of the event.

Broadening my Horizons

About 2 weeks ago I finally made something I have been dying to try to make for a very long time...

MACAROONS!!!

This was probably the most successful pan I made since they had the least amount of cracked shells on them.

I filled them with a chocolate ganache which I made from Ghirardelli chips and it was delicious.

I had been researching the best way to make these since I heard they are not the easiest things to bake and I was surprised at how well they turned out. I found a 200 year old recipe on Pinterest that worked wonderfully. You can find it by going here: http://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/easy-macaron-macaroon-recipe/
